*AT THE LUCRIEL MANSION*

Damien patiently kept looking at the weeping woman on the floor before him. His face showed no sign of sympathy and just remained with a smile. He had searched for the woman for many years wanting some answers and now that he had found her, he was going to savor every moment and not rush.

Yvan's tears had no plan of stopping as they intensified more and more every minute. All she could think about were the words Damien had spoken.

"Our son!"

Those two words were so impactful on her such that all of her strength ghosted her. Her mind wondered off to several years back:

*HER THOUGHTS*

She lay on a hospital bed with her body full of sweat. The white sheets that covered the bed were all dirty with several types of liquids that had been cast out of her body during birth. Her hair was messy and her face was a mess.

She looked like a mummy from tiredness...….

However, her eyes were looking at a nurse who held a small baby. She looked at the nurse with expectation. If not for her weak body, she might have jumped off the bed and took the baby. Her hands shook uncontrollably from excitement.

She wanted to hold her baby.......

However, the nurse had other plans in mind:

"Mrs. Landriel, you have given birth to a cute baby boy" spoke the nurse "However, I cannot let you hold him as you are now"

"But...…." Before Yvan could even retort, the nurse cut her off and spoke:

"Careful now," there was a dark look on her face "We wouldn't want an accident happening in our hospital"

Yvan had no choice but to restrain herself. She did not want to kill her baby by mistake on the day he had been born.

"I'm sorry" she looked down as she apologized "I wasn't thinking straight"

"It's fine" reassured the nurse, "I'll take him to do some tests just to make sure no complications happen in the near future"

She turned around and walked to the door. Just before she left the room, Yvan could not help but notice the unnatural frown on the face of the nurse. Her heartbeat increased as she thought something bad was going to happen to her baby. Just that small feeling made her want to call the father so that he would supervise the so-called tests just to be on the safe side.

The nurse's frown had made her doubtful of her intentions.

She took her phone from the side-table and dialed Damien's number with the intention of calling him. However, before she could press the call button, a call came in.

[uncle]

She wondered why he would be calling her at that particular day and time. It all seemed suspicious, so she decided to answer it.

[Yvan, you are to return home today and that is an order]

Those are the first words she heard before she could even greet him. She then spoke:

"Uncle, I'm afraid that I cannot return at the current moment" she nervously replied to her uncle while trying to pretend to be busy.

[Yvan, do not test my patience, I know you are at the XXX private hospital and have just given birth to a potentially black sheep of our family]

*BOOM!*

As if a time bomb had been set off in her head, a large explosion of shock happened in her mind. Her entire body started shaking and large beads of sweat filled her entire body despite the cool temperatures of the day.

"U-Uncle, what a-are you sa-saying" she tried to feign ignorance but her nervousness got the best of her.

[Yvan, if I don't get a call of your return home by midnight, then I'll come there personally with your martial arts teacher] his voice was calm but his words were impactful so much so Yvan's heart almost jumped out of her chest.

"Please don't tell him, I'll board a plane in the next hour and return and please don't tell anyone" she gave up and just resigned to her fate. She did not want anyone to know especially her teacher and father.

*PRESENT TIME*

Seeing Yvan continue to cry with no intention of stopping, Damien ran out of patience and grabbed her hand. He carried her on his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and started walking to the door. Yvonne who was standing at the side was alarmed by Damien's action and tried to stop him by blocking his way.

"What are you doing? Put my sister down, now!"

However, she was replied to with a strong fist to the stomach. Since she already had another serious injury on her stomach that had been caused by him, she immediately fainted without resistance.

Yvan could not even react. All her strength had long diminished and all she could think of was her child she had never seen the face of. She had sacrificed a great lot to make sure nothing bad happened to him because of her family and she also had not wanted to endanger Damien either.

She could understand his rage and thought it best to just go with him, moreover, she also wanted to see her son. Whatever would happen, she had thought of a way to deal with the consequences.

When they stepped out of the mansion double doors, they were shocked to see the sky green with many creatures shooting different elements, water, fire, poison, etc on random areas.

"WHAT IN THE FANTASHY IS GOING ON?!!!!" Damien could not help but be shocked. He looked around and saw Yvan's family members and servants all kneeling to a man who sat on a rather majestic throne of gold.

"Mr Lucriel, you, your daughters and their husbands, your sons and their wives, your grandsons, your granddaughters, your relatives and your flocks, pets and plants have been chosen to wield the power of Sir Bolgardo to fight these ugly creatures" the man who sat on the throne spoke and raised his hand.

Golden light engulfed his entire hand and increased in intensity. It then divided into small balls which numbered up to fifty. Some of the small balls moved and entered the heads of the present people including Damien and Yvan. The remaining ones flew off in different directions.

Everyone present who had received one of the golden lights opened their eyes which had changed from their original colors to a color of gold. Inhuman strength they had never felt now flowed in their veins.

Similar events also took place at seven more houses of the world.

On that day, heroes of humanity were born to fight off the scary looking monsters.

However, this little achievement was doomed to not last long as a monster whose power had given birth to the monsters existed.

It was sleeping and breathing soundly having a wonderful dream.
